About
A surreal and creepy little point and click game.
You are Lou. You've recently moved to Lisbon, in Portugal, to take up a new job and start a new life. Within days of arriving, you meet an enchanting woman, Catarina, at a bar on a night out. After a few hours of getting along swimmingly, you agree to meet her the next day in her favourite park.
You arrive at the stunning park on a beautiful sunny day, with high hopes. Lou soon finds the atmosphere is a little off... it's not going to be an average date.
Features:
- A cast of several characters
- Language confusion - Lou does not speak Portuguese.
- 20+ screens to explore
- A short, narrative experience, with puzzles as well. I… think it will take between 30 minutes and an hour to complete. Maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less, depending on the player
- Twists and turns - shocking moments! (there's a horror element to the game)
- 90s style digitised graphics and animated sprites
- 640 x 400 resolution
- Real world location to explore- Tapada das Necessidades in Lisbon, Portugal
- 2 click interface, with inventory etc

Best Freeware Game Created with AGSAGS Panel Rating
The photographic backgrounds and ambient sounds make you feel like you are strolling through the park yourself. Once every scene is explored, this gets a bit repetitive because the puzzles mostly rely on walking around. However, the good writing and amazing atmosphere make up for that.
Pick of the Month
April 2015
A well deserved winner in the short games category, this game has a tranquil atmosphere created by photographic visuals and ambient sounds. Be warned - the content advisory is there for a reason!

Wooo Lisbon Portugal? I need to download this, since I live there haha :p
shaun9991's game is one of the best AGS adventures.
One of the very few set in Lisbon and where the photorealistic style works really well, in the tradition of Riddle of Master Lu. The story is emotional in different ways, and builds up nicely. A wonderful pastime for around half an hour.
I did a bit of clueless wondering around at first but once things got going I thought it was very well done. Would recommend.
To think about it, this short game is probably the best adventure I have played in 2014. Excellent!
Someone must have had a pretty bad experience in Lisbon... :)
